Aktifkan Murid dengan strategi Rally Coach

Berikut adalah satu video yang saya ingin kongsikan di dalam kelas Cikgu Shamsiah, guru Sejarah di SMK Kangkar Pulai. Sepertimana kita semua maklum, Sejarah adalah subjek wajib lulus dalam SPM. Ia menjadi cabaran bagi guru-guru dalam proses PdPc di mana murid-murid yang kurang menguasai Bahasa Melayu sering merasakan Sejarah merupakan subjek yang sukar. Ini kerana ia memerlukan pembacaan dan pemahaman yang teliti. Oleh itu, satu intervensi dalam PdPc perlu dijalankan oleh Ketua Panitia 

Dalam sesi rundingan dan konsultasi bersama-sama Ketua Panitia, sedikit perkongsian tentang Rally Coach telah dijalankan oleh SISC+. Setelah memahami bagaimana strategi ini boleh membantu murid, maka dalam proses seterusnya, cikgu Gowry membimbing cikgu Shamsiah pula, iaitu guru seliannya bagi subjek Sejarah. 

Menurut cikgu Shamsiah, cikgu Gowry telah berkongsi tentang Rally Coach dan cikgu Shamsiah pun menyediakan alat bantu mengajar iaitu kad tentang matawang dan merancang bagaimana ia akan dijalankan di dalam kelas Sejarah tingkatan 4.  Jom kita tonton video PdPc Sejarah ini!!

Video ini dirakamkan dalam kelas Sejarah secara authentic, tiada sebarang rehearsal dijalankan sebelum kelas berlangsung. 

Semoga bermanfaat.

TALKING CHIPS AND CLASSROOM COMMUNICATION. HERE'S A BRIEF EXPLANATION

TALKING CHIPS: Literature Review

Talking Chips is a Kagan strategy that teaches students the techniques of polite discussion and debate.

Arnold, E (1983) states that speaking has several important functions. First, it facilitates students to analyze the information, problems, and conditions requiring the formation of attitudes. Second, it helps students to create effective communication.  Finally, it helps students to pronounce the words correctly.  On the other hand,  Harmer, J (1993) states that there are three stages in teaching speaking namely introduction new language, practice, and communicative activity. Kagan,S (2010)  points out that Talking Chips Technique is a technique in teaching speaking which makes the students work in group. Then, applying the Talking Chips Technique, students will be given chips and the chips are used every time they speak. They must put the chips at the center of table. It is done until all the chips are used. If the chips are used, the students may not speak until the chips of all members of the group have been used. If all the chips have been used,  while the task has not finished, the students can be given the chips again. The procedures of Talking Chips are also proposed by Kagan, S (2010). The procedures are as in the following. - Teacher provides a discussion topic. - Any student begins the discussion, placing his or her chip in the center of the team table. - Any student with a chip continues discussion, using his or her chip. - When all chips are used, teammates all collect their chips and continue the discussion using their talking chips. - During the students speak about the topic, Accuracy and fluency of students will be observed. Besides, in evaluation, the students will be assessed either their fluency or accuracy.
